Your Reception

When it comes to planning your perfect romantic reception Highcliffe Castle can offer you two unique choices. Both reflect the timeless style you would expect from a Grade 1 listed Castle but each are a little different.

Our Great Hall can seat up to 110 diners with the magnificent stained glass “Jesse” window creating a spectacular backdrop behind the head table.

The State Dining Room is more intimate and seats up to 80 guests. The multitude of candles and the exposed brickwork creates a very romantic atmosphere.

You are of course welcome to invite additional evening guests. The Castle can hold up to 200 guests in total.

The Castle Bar will open at 5pm to serve your guests throughout the evening. This will create a lively hub for your party as it links whichever dining area you have chosen to use with the Drawing Room. Dance the night away with a band or DJ of your choice. Anyone not choosing to dance can remain in the dining area which functions as a more relaxing lounge after the feasting is over.
